[General Topics] Snowtoad23:
I've got the HTC Legend and have used Doubletwist to sync and convert videos for it. It converts the videos nicely except they don't seem to be well compressed.. I used it to convert a movie and it ended up being a larger size than the original (700mb -> 800mb).

Instead of resizing it and keeping aspect ratio from 640 x 272 to 480 x 204 and letting the phone add black borders when the video plays, it added black borders itself and made it 480 x 320. Also the bitrate of the video was increased from 709 to 829 which seems unecessary.

I tried converting it also in Avidemux and got the file size smaller but it was not as high quality as the Doubletwist output.

But it seems logical that you should be able to get a smaller dimensions, same quality and smaller file size video..

What are some alternative softwares?

Virtual dub is pretty fast, you can resize, crop, correct aspect ratios, deinterlace etc etc.

via the "filters" menu.

It's quite a minimalist piece of software, but it's transcodes very fast and has everthing you need.
[General Topics] Snowtoad23:
Thanks, yeah I'm familiar with virtualdub.

However some of the videos I'm converting were .flv and it wasn't too happy with that. And I cant seem to find the exact right encoding options to maintain the quality DT can achieve, but also have a decent amount of compression
[General Topics] topher:
hmm - sounds hard to do in one pass. If you are lucky enough to have an editing package like Sony Vegas or After Effects it should be doable.

If you can bear a two -step conversion you can use this:

http://www.videohelp.com/tools/FLV_Extract

to convert FLV to AVI without loss.

Then use the encoding package of your choice to shrink the file to a phone friendly size.
[General Topics] Snowtoad23:
Yeah I do have sony vegas, how would I do it in that?

And yeah the main problem is encoding it to be played on the phone. I can get the right format, but not perfect quality with decently low size

Does anyone have the sprint Tv app?? I dont need the other ones just Sprint Tv for my ESPN!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Babyche43:
I know that there call blocker apps that can answer/hang up or send the blocked call to voicemail. But is there a app that can send the blocked call to a special message. Something like the phone disconnected message. So the person would think that phone was disconnected and stop calling period or you can record your own personalized message for that particular number. This message would only be played for blocked calls and the regular voicemail message would be played for unblocked messages. Is this already an app or can someone develop it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chopes:
Great idea! I hope something like this can be done... Would be interesting if you could just set an mp3 as the receiving message or something. Very interesting indeed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DToX69:
Sounds like a fun idea, maybe someone annoying keeps calling you and you set it to forward to an mp3 file of a message saying this phone line is disconnected... not a bad idea but right now i just add them to the blacklist and let it go to voicemail
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] romracer:
I don't use this particular feature, but Extreme Call Blocker Droid can do this. As far as I can tell, the program works fine on my Nexus One (eventhough it says Droid in the name). Within this app, look at the "Pretenders" list for this feature. It comes with like dialtone, snoring and a few others by default (and you can add more).
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] diversificationied:
Google voice does this.

When you get a voicemail from them add them as "blocked", next time they call, they get a "this number has been disconnected" message.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Babyche43:
Thanks just what I was looking for.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:

Root Call Blocker (for general use):

https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta

Call Master (for advanced users):

https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist

These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tokenwoken:
I just did a replacement swap with HTC through my warranty and I had my bootloader unlocked. They just sent me an email today saying that they received my old Nexus One and it said: "Service is complete. Please visit HTC Customer Survey if you would like to take a quick survey regarding your experience contacting HTC."

For the people who had their Nexus One swapped, does this mean that they have taken back my Nexus One and everything is done? Or are they still analyzing my old Nexus One? Thanks in advance for you guys' help.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeynuggetz:
I was thinking about getting my phone replaced but i don't want to get a phone that has a crappier screen than my version 2 phone. What's the latest on the new Evo's being sold nowadays? What hardware rev are we at? If I choose to exercise my extended warranty will I get a new phone or a refurbished one? I'm not talking about the manufacturer warranty. By the looks of the official HTC forum thread on this issue, Sprint and HTC are still giving consumers the run around and its not really getting any press exposure.

I believe it's version 3 still...i've been waiting also for maybe one more version like 4..if they make 4..to claim insurance, pay deductable, and use my current one as a backup(lost)..my screen is light leaking like others but I use a case that covers it so I can stand looking at it :-)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StealthTH:
That is all good in theory except one part. When you report your device lost/stolen Sprint will permanently deactivate the ESN and should you need to rely on your backup at some point you will not be able to reactivate the phone.

How do you use the camera add me feature? I don't understand it? Where do you put each person? In the middle or the side?
[Vibrant General] merlino211:
Hello,

So I am aware of the Lag with the vibrant being a known issue. However, I have an interesting quandary. I own two of these, one for my wife and one for myself. I already had to replace mine for poor radio performance, now the replacement has a whole new set of problems. The display is saturated in contrast by comparison to my wifes original. and the biggest problem is a lag when the device is locked. As we all know, you hit the power button and the swipe-to-unlock screen populates. On my wifes this transition is instantaneous. For mine, I hit the power button and only occasionally will it come on instantly. Most cases, it takes a second or longer before the unlock screen ever populates. So what's going on here? Do these things just suffer high fail ratio?
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Just high complainers I have 0 issues....
[Vibrant General] merlino211:
This would be easily dismissed as a guised complaint if I didn't have two devices of the same model behaving differently. While one works great, I've gone through two. One had a radio that would drop inexplicably and now one that is extremely lagged and has a noticeable contrast saturation in the display.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Ha. There is a VERY slight delay when waking the device. Boo-hoo.
[Vibrant General] blackeyedbrian:
A legitimate problem and this is the reaction?

If it takes a full second to unlock one phone and near instant on everyone else's, maybe there really is a problem with it?

I don't have this problem on mine, but I do hope you're able to find a solution to your problem.
[Vibrant General] NickAtNite:
I've noticed this happening to mine as well and it's kind of bothered me since the beginning. For being a 1ghz "super-phone" I'd expect it to be a little more responsive when performing the simple task of unlocking it. I've also noticed that once the screen starts to light up, it does so a little choppy. It doesn't smoothly transition from off to on. When I press the the power button there's about a 1 sec delay, then the screen goes from off to half lit to fully lit.

Does this happen to anybody else?
[Vibrant General] bahnburner:
I had the same problem, until I did the "Stalling fix." Hasn't happened since.
[Vibrant General] down8:
I've seen this once or five times on my Vibrant, too. But my G1 would wake slowly on occasion too.

[Vibrant General] Argusi:
I've noticed if some kind of sync was occurring as I powered on my g1 or even the vibrant (before the stalling fix), it caused a slowdown. Network traffic was just eating up some resources and it was made a more pronounced with the way Samsung sliced the memory on this phone and the data it was syncing was on the slower memory (stalling). Usually, I'd see the icon lit up in the bar at the top. I'd go back and off/on it a few times and it would be fine. Of course, the sync would have been over with by then. But just as Bahnburner said, it pretty much went away after moving data to faster bit switchers.
[Vibrant General] NickAtNite:
That's the G1, though. My mytouch was pretty responsive, even after I loaded cyanogenmod 5 and 6. I never had this problem with that phone.

Another example of my screen unlocking lag issues:

Just now, as I was typing this, my phone completely froze when I tried to wake it up. I pressed the power button and the screen came on, but the phone became completely unresponsive. I waited for about 20 seconds until I lost patience and removed the battery to reboot it. This was the first time it happened since I got it on Thursday, but it still has me a little worried.

Even after a fresh reboot I get the 1 second screen wake up lag, and then a laggy transition from off to lit screen.

This is really the only issue I'm having with the phone. I don't experience lag anywhere else. I'm wondering if this is normal with other users or if I should get it swapped out.
[Vibrant General] SiL3nTKiLL:
its such a small delay, i didnt think it was a big deal :/
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I have no lag waking it up whatsoever. I did have freezing when killing certain System apps. I stopped doing that and everything has been fine save for the occasional pause.
[Vibrant General] tq745:
Try down loading no lock app. It will unlock your phone with one push of the power button taking away the need to swipe the phone.

[Vibrant General] renegadedj:

[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
Anytime I used the default launcher and add one or more samsung widgets, the homescreens start to lag like crazy when swiping between them. I definitely expect more for a high-end 1ghz phone. Are samsungs widgets just that bad that they suck that much life out of the phone? I also get very slight skipping when I have music playing. Anyone else having any of these issues?
[Vibrant General] Zaphodb2002:
The Samsung Widgets are really bad, IMO. They're slow, must use a lot of memory or something. I'm using ADW, Tunewiki for music, and I really don't need the others. The only thing I really like so far about the TW ui is the ability to change the fonts easily, even if there are only a couple of options.
[Vibrant General] 2071:
in my experience it wasn't the widgets that bogged down the phone, i think it's the ROM that needs an update because it opens apps all the time i don't even touch, i know this becuase my task manager tells me and i have to close these apps constantly. currently this is my only real problem with the phone and it's making me want to return it :(
[Vibrant General] Maverick777:
I just noticed a potential issue. When I enable Wifi, it appears to disable 3G.

The 3G symbol disappears. Is it possible to have Wifi and 3G on at the same time?
[Vibrant General] kusotare:
How is that an issue? Every android phone I've owned (G1, MT3G, N1, Droid, Incredible, Vibrant) does exactly what you're talking about when you turn on WiFi. If you're on wifi, you dont need 3G.
[Vibrant General] AVonGauss:
... and I believe this option is set by default; if you are on WiFi and the screen goes to sleep the WiFi will be disconnected and the cellular data re-enabled.
[Vibrant General] Zaphodb2002:
If you're concerned about making phone calls, don't be. You still get phone reception just as if you weren't on the wifi. If you want 2 data streams, that's not gonna work, though I have no idea why you would need that.
[Vibrant General] Welshy992:
I've switched from wifi to 3g and back to wifi again while on hold in a call and sending emails and browsing. This phone is awesome. Off topic, sorry :)
[HTC Aria General] Ki77erB:
I just upgraded my AT&T account from a Blackberry bold to the Aria online. I just got the phone in today and for some reason, I cant hear anything when I make or receive a call unless I put it on speaker. I have tried everything myself, made sure call volume is up, hard reset, master reset. Nothing has worked. I have to put every call on speakerphone just to make it usable. I called AT&T and they said I could go to the store tomorrow for a replacement, but I just wanted to know if anyone else has had a similar problem or knew of a quick fix to save me a trip. Thanks!
[HTC Aria General] Ki77erB:
SOLVED

Just an updated for anyone who come across this issue. I took the phone to an AT&T store and they swapped it out for me in about 10 minutes. New phone works flawlessly so it was definitely a manufacturing defect. Just rooted and flashed liberated ROM. Couldn't be happier!

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
This is a white bar morph, just brings the status bar to vanilla...

I started this a long time ago... I couldn't ever change the clock color... Eugene373 finally found out how to change this on the vibrant and made the edited services.jar available... This is just a mm of the AOSP2.1 bar and icon set that I previously posted with the edited services.jar from eugene..

The date turned white again so Anderdroid/Andershizzle reapplied the black to the date... Just push the framework-res with metamorph and push the services.jar with adb or root explorer..

A dalvik cache wipe may be needed when changing a services.jar

This should work in ji4,5,6..

Download Metamorph from the market and use that app to install it.

It is only reversible if you make a nandroid backup.. if you want to "uninstall" it, simply do a restore. To do backups, go to dev forum and look for Clockwork Recovery

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zephiK:
Either one will work fine, but I'd recommend and just back up yours since it's not that complicated at all and all your settings will be the same. It will be less work on your part restoring your own. Or just flash the stock ROM
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
Yeah just make a nandroid backup first... If you don't like it just restore your backup...

You ever figure out how to fix that text on a stock rom? What exactly is a Deodexed rom?

And btw the first mediafire url is broken
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
I will try my best to explain this... To edit text color, we edit the services.jar... It's in the classes.dex file...

Odex roms don't have that file they have .odex files...

If you push the edited services.jar to an odex rom it bootloops...

I git the left side of the text black (date and scrolling notifications) when I edit the clock it fc loops...
